Return of the Jedi was released in 1983

 

Harrison Ford was born in 1942, so he was 41

Mark Hamill was born in 1951 , so he was 32

Carrie Fisher was born in 1956, so she was 27

 

 

as for the characters...

 

Han was 33 and Luke & Leia were 24 in ROTJ

The ages of the actors and the characters they play don't match. That's a given, even for the Original Trilogy.

 

Also, each movie wasn't made in one year (except ROTJ, I hear) so the actors aged some from start to finish. Well they always age, but I mean a few years.

 

 

Sides, I don't think George had the whole brother-sister thing figured out in 1977. Remember he was still having them kissing and releasing trailors talking about them being "in love." Unless he's some perv, I think he didn't have it planned...

 

 

Plus, the ages of the characters are never stated on screen, we can only surmise based on other factors. They really come from the official literature, which, as we know, can change if Lucas changes his mind.

Timeline:

TPM: -31 BBY

AotC: -21 BBY

RotS: -19 BBY

ANH: 0

ESB: 3 ABY

RotJ: 4 ABY

 

 

Roughly. :D

 

 

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to add:

BBY: Before Battle of Yavin

ABY: After Battle of Yavin

 

:D

 

Yeah this is what I thought too, and Han would be 31 then.

The Battle of Yavin was the turning point in the Civil War and Palpatine's rule.

 

Before Battle of Yavin

 

Stormtroopers >>> Rebels

 

After Battle of Yavin

 

Rebels >>> Stormtroopers

 

Well either that, or because it was in the first-made SW movie. :D
